Question: "create a variable named treehouse by combining two strings."

I have entered Task 1 correctly and it passed, but I get warning message saying "Task 1 isnt passing." I know my code might be wrong for #2 (which I am trying to figure out) but after every attempt I have to go back to Task #1.

you simply need to concatenate 2 strings together using the + operator. you need to concatenate "Tree" with "house" to make "Treehouse". assign the concatenated strings to the variable treehouse

name = "stone"
treehouse = "Tree" + "house"

Thank you. I guess I was confused by what my name had to do with Task #2.

ah yeah sometimes the tasks are not related, though most of the time they tie in at the end of the challenge if not sooner.
